Html Factory

The Html factory provides standard objects which represent the elements available as part of the Hypertext Markup Language. These objects are not to be confused with the Html helper available in CakePHP, for this check out the Cake factory.

To use the Html factory in a View include it in the $factories property of the CTK class, for example:

public $factories = array('Ctk.Html');

Once the factory is available you can access the objects it provides. To call an object from the factory simply call the factory, and then the desired object, for example:

$this->Html->Div(array(
	'text' => __('Hello World')
));
